Read controls typography: which fonts your app uses and how their sizes relate to each other. Instead of picking a font family and a type scale separately, you choose a personality and Archie maps it to a pairing that already works.

Font feel

Four presets, each previewed with a live “Aa” sample:
  • Editorial — serif or serif-adjacent headings, built for long-form reading and a considered, print-influenced tone.
  • Modern — clean geometric or humanist sans, the default for most SaaS products.
  • Expressive — more distinctive display type, for brands that want typography to carry personality.
  • Technical — precise, often monospace-influenced, suited to developer tools and data-dense products.
